I met Janelle and David two years ago when they graciously modeled for myfirst styled shoot! They are the sweetest couple ever and working with them felt like we'd been longtime friends. So, when they found out they were expecting their first baby and contacted me, I was thrilled! Adele was the most precious little girl and I could not get over her "Hello" nursery, which was curated before the "other" Adele's song had been released!

WHAT THE 5 YEARS BATMAN?! I just can't believe it, yet he's been here for just about as long as I can remember, and every year I just grow more and more grateful.

Needless to say, this was a special #lfpcelebratinglove year because 5 years feels special! We've shared our story over the past few years as we've done this giveaway and continue to be blown away by the #storieslovewrites that you share with us in return. It's just amazing, really, where love takes us and there always is surprise, heartache, determination, and adventure mixed in!

I met my now dear friend Rachel Tenny through the magical land of Instagram over a year ago and since they, we've had the chance to become in-person friends and I am so grateful. This lady is incredible-- her heart for people, gifts that are being lived out at the intersection of counseling and art, and of course, her love of wine, all lend to the authentic life she lives. So when she shared her vision behind the My Body is Enough Project, I held back tears thinking about the lives that would be impacted.

On of the best parts of this last year has been having the opportunity to attend and speak at conferences like Pursuit, The Cultivate Retreat, and Around the Table KC! When I decided to leave my higher ed role this year, I knew that teaching, speaking, and mentoring were all things I wanted to actively pursue. But even with years of teaching experience, it takes time to break into a new industry in this capacity! The thing I love about the creative community? A lot of amazing people are creating super valuable content and next week, a group of us are coming together for a two day online workshop that you can watch in your PJs from home (check out the amazing schedule, ya'll!!)

If you're a creative, small business owner, dreamer, side-gigger, writer, ETSY shop owner, we really hope you'll join us next week for high quality teaching & engaging! Just because we won't be in person DOES NOT mean you'll be an invisible person behind the screen! We can't wait to talk with you & learn about your big heart!

You can GRAB A SEAT for only $49-- WHATTTTT. This INCLUDES replays of all the speakers!!! I know my talk is one that I've delivered at investment conferences, so, this is a GREAT way to take away super valuable content at a literal STEAL of a price!

Feeling lucky today? Leave a comment on this blog about one big dream/business goal you have right now and you'll be entered to WIN A SEAT at this conference! Winner will be selected at random tonight, Thursday, October 13th, at 10PM EST. !!

Hello!

In the world of introductions and first-impressions, bios on a webpage have to be about as strange as they come. Yet, here we are, just you and me and this sidebar. So, if you’ve made it here pretend we’re enjoying a decadent slice of cookie cake (my FAV) and maybe a little bubbly in my living room. After all, my hope is that this space is an extension of just that!
